Who sang sloop John B?
That was The Beach Boys.
Sixties song with lyrics let me go home?
"Sloop John B." by The Beach Boys or "Detroit City" by many artists, most notably Bobby Bare
What do the lyrics mean in the song Hang on Sloopy?
"Hang on Sloopy" is about being in love/a relationship with a girl of another socioeconomic class. Wes Farrell and Bert Russell wrote the song in the mid-1960s, and it was originally titled "My Girl Sloopy"; "Sloopy" is a reference to American jazz singer Dorothy Sloop, who often went by the name "Sloopy." The first stanza speaks to the boy's love and concern for a poor girl, whose father holds some menial or socially undesirable job that she is ashamed of. He tells her he doesn't care what her daddy "do," and that he's in love with her and to hang on, things will improve. The second stanza speaks to the strong sexual attraction between the two, and is a veiled reference to the act of fellatio, with the boy laying on his back. He delights in her long hair, and coaxes her to let her hair down and "hang down on me." Backed by the chorus, he urges her to "come on, come on." He tells her "it feels so good" and that she knows it feels so good. The song quickens in tempo and he exhorts her to "shake it, shake it, shake it," letting out a "yeah!" before the song creschendos with a long howl, symbolizing the ecstasy of his orgasm.

How many million sellers did the beach boys have?
There are various answers to this question, including the usual, really stupid one that says TWO -- Good Vibrations which was awarded a RIAA gold disc in December 1966, and I Get Around which was awarded a RIAA gold disc in 1982, 18 years after it was released. But Capitol had a policy of not awarding gold discs for singles, unless they were for the Beatles. In 1963 Surfin' USA was assessed as the no.1 selling single of the year by Billboard - and it didn't sell a million Within weeks of release of Sloop John B in May 1966 it was greeted by the most authoritative observers at the 11th Beach Boy single to sell a million in the US. In March 1970 when they were about to tiur New Zeakland and Australia, they were advertised to have 30 million-selling singles, obviously a worldwide total. I would put the US total to date at 22, and world total at 32.
